Learning To Love Learning!
Kindergarten students join Faith Christian School from many backgrounds and levels of academic experience.
Some students have been to a pre-kindergarten while others may have been homeschooled by their parents. Some have learned their letters and sounds, while some have not—some come to us already reading!
Our wonderful, passionate Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Anderson, has been teaching Kindergarten for over 14 years at Faith Christian School. Her experience teaching, approach to making learning fun, and our smaller class size allow her to deeply know each student. Together with her gracious assistant, Mrs. Farthing, they provide the individualized attention necessary to call out the natural talents of the individual student, challenging those who excel in one area while encouraging them in the areas still developing.
Additionally, our Kindergarten students are supported by fun teachers who bring in music and art or get them out of the classroom into the library and outdoors in nature studies. These teachers are a vital part of developing each student holistically, teaching them to wonder, explore, and ask good questions—all aspects of someone who loves to learn!
Get The Foundation Right And Greatness Will Follow
For many children, kindergarten is the first time students learn several lessons necessary for a fulfilling life:
-
Students learn to raise their hand and patiently wait to be called on before they contribute to the discussion, in preparation for civil discussion and debate in the upper grades.
-
Students learn to complete assignments in a certain amount of time while still giving their best, in preparation for more arduous assignments each grade level brings.
-
Students learn to get along with peers and compromise or problem-solve with others on the playground during recess—skills vital for healthy relationships in school, work, and life.
-
Students learn to keep their school material organized, to take homework home, complete on their own (as much as able), and bring completed homework back to school, setting good habits they will continue to use for the rest of their lives.
